The 5-year-old shot on I-93

Ollie is moving here from the UK and the news that a little kid was shot in a car just past the Zakim doesn't make him feel particularly good about his new home:

... I do admit I have concerns of crime once moving to Boston, but that has more to do with the "unknown" factor and the fact that America is obsessed with guns. It most likely has also to do with the fact that I have been living on a small island almost no crime and the fact that I ever so often I forget my keys in the front lock overnight and nothing ever happens. The idea of locking my accessible windows seems odd to me.

But again a five year old gets shot, for that five year old the fact that he is more likely been hit by a car than a gun doesn't matter, period. As long as you are not victim of either these data might be marginal meaningful, once you part of the data it's not.
